dTouch is a dedicated capture and playback interface for touch screen systems. It is featured in the Drastic/1Beyond Mini3D portable recording device. dTouch provides fast, intuitive record and playback of a wide variety of file formats from single link, dual link, HDMI, 3D and 3G video sources.

The dTouch onscreen viewer lets you scroll through your clips, view metadata, import files, and offers a range of signal analysis tools, all within the same application. Touch and swipe functionality provides access to all the controls and displays required for on set acquisition and review.

Recording

dTouch allows the user to easily record and organize shots on set and in the field. It provides fast access to the most variable shot information: Reel, Shot, Take and Name, by saving them as part of the file name. They are also saved within the metadata of the recorded file, along with over 100 other available metadata tags. Everything from key code, ink code, copyright and keywords to free for user strings are supported and saved to ease searching and editing within dTouch and the rest of your creative workflow.

File Formats and Video Standards

dTouch software supports SD, HD and 2K Digital Cinema at frame rates from 23.98 to 60. A variety of raw modes from Arri, Weisscam and LMP cameras are also supported for raw 12 bit bayer capture up to 2880x2160.

Our extensive file format support provides the flexibility to record directly into the optimum format for your workflow. Everything from full uncompressed YCbCr and RGB to industry standard compressed formats are supported in fully compatible containers, ready for downstream processing.

Advanced Setup

dTouch provides real time display and setup for many important parameters of operation. Controls are included for: Audio (file format, container, source, monitor pair, routing) and video (channel, format, standard, codec, bit depth), genlock, time code (LTC, VITC), up-, down- and cross-conversion, and create a new project. The Match Output to Clip setting allows the user to select any clip in the bin, and the system will reset to the format of the selected clip , which will then become available for real time playback.
